The Raw Milk Dealnew
As the local-food movement has grown--with its emphasis on fresh and unadulterated products--so has interest in raw milk. Many of those eager to supply that new market are small-scale farmers with a couple of cows and an often-evangelical faith in raw milk.

The Right (Wing) Stuff: Northern Idaho Property Rights Council Takes Libertarian Stancenew
A newly formed Bonner County advisory board comes with partisan viewpoint. From available documents, it is clear that the council has no policy powers and can only make recommendations to commissioners. Its primary role is research, and its stated goal is to find ways to unburden property owners from as much regulation, taxation or other impositions as legally and statutorily possible. But the council says everything paid for by property taxes—including county employee insurance—is fair game for its consideration.

A referendum on the Tuesday, Nov. 8, ballot in Ketchum, Idaho's famed resort town, will give voters the chance to adopt a new form of government at City Hall and, in the process, completely overhaul the City Council. The current mayor is lobbying hard against the change, but as it turns out, he was in favor of the policy change before he was so staunchly opposed to it.
